Cheese straws: not cheese and not a straw.

My gifter sent me a box of cheese straws! Well, sort of. The side of the package indicated that I had received 6 counts of 6 ounces of cheese straws. This conjured mental images of drinking milk through a tube of mozzarella, which had me slightly worried. I was further baffled when I saw that the package specified that I was ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to open the box with sharp objects. So I ripped the box open with my bare hands and discovered that the box was, in fact, lying, and I had received six boxes of delicious carbohydrates: three boxes of cookies, one of cookie "straws," and two of cheese "straws."
